      What an awesome sunset adventure, away from the masses… just you and your kajak!
      What a great experience! Carlos was a great host and we felt safe all the time with him. If you want to have a different sunset experience, I can highly recommend to book this tour.

      Wonderful experience! Very fun!
      What a great time we had kayaking around the bay! Einer was a lovely host and guide. The experience was very doable for a beginner like myself, and my husband and I were able to share a kayak/tandem. Be sure to add this to your to-do list in Cartagena!

      Fantastic experience
      Mu guide, Einer was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful & fun. He taught me the basics of kayaking, showed me beautiful locations, including city views and a tiny island covered in beautiful birds. This was super fun and a fantastic way to view Cartegena

      Fun afternoon.
      Andres was very nice and helpful. He made sure we knew the ropes and helped keep us safe. It was great to get out on the water. It was sad, though, to see how little Cartagenans treasure their shoreline, though, seeing all the trash in and around the water.

      Fun & different way of seeing the city!
      Three of us had a very enjoyable & relaxing kayak tour of the bay with Andres! I have spent a lot of time in Cartagena but this was a first for me & would definitely recommend it as a different way of experiencing the city, while getting a bit of exercise too! Andres was on time, professional, helpful, informative & sent us great photos at the end. Thank you, Andres!

      Interesting way to see the city
      Karib kayak made everything from booking to the kayaking tour easy. Andres, our tour guide was very friendly. He took photos for us along the way and sent them to us at the end. It was an interesting way to see the layout of the city.

      Kayaking around Cartagena, would highly recommend
      Andres turned up on time, organized all the equipment and made everything easy for us. It was very pleasant paddling around the inner waterways of Cartagena. Andres was the perfect friendly guide giving details of the areas we paddled passed, he took lots of photos for us which was great. My husband had a smile on his face the whole time. It was just my husband, myself and Andres paddling around, a very delightful way to see Cartagena we would highly recommend this tour.

      Awesome!
      The tour guides are very friendly and professional. The tour itself is awesome and I highly recommend it. A tour from the seat of a kayak is a great way to see Cartagena from a different view. We had an awesome time!

      Awesome time
      Our tour guide was Andres. Andrea was on time and being it was my first time, he explained everything so well that I had no issues navigating the kayak. The city tour is not through rough waters and Andre made sure we stayed on track and followed the assigned route. Andre took pictures with his cell and sent them to us. I would recommend this tour if ur in the city.

      Excellent Kayak Ride Near Manga and Walled City
      Andres gave us an excellent and fun kayak tour from Manga and pass the Walled City. During our tour, we also got a great view of the island of birds, Castillo de San Felipe, and the Convento de la Popa. This was also my friend's first time riding a kayak, but Andres took the time to assist her in learning how to kayak while enjoying the tour. This tour and company deserves 10 stars!

      Sunset kayak of Bocagrande, Cartagena
      We did the sunset kayak tour and it was so much fun. If you're after fantastic scenery a little off the tourist route then this is for you. It was just what we needed after a long day in the city centre and incredibly relaxing. Highly recommended

      Tierra Bomba
      my husband and I did the Tierra Bomba kayak. It was a fantastic way to spend our morning. The kayaking was a little more challenging on the way back but super manageable :) we loved our time on the island and the snacks were great. Andre is an excellent guide. He has a super calming effect that’s pretty great. We always felt safe and happy. Definitely enjoyed this trip

    It was great to be far away from vendors on the beach and with a great guide. The beach us clean and fun to swim in. Carlos was kind, informative and kept us safe throughout our trip. There are a lot of boats going in and out but Carlos kept us safe and checked in quite often to make sure we were ok. A fun morning was had and we hung out at the beach after. This was our favorite activity in Cartagena in our first three days.

    This is an excellent outing and the best way to travel from Cartagena to the Punta at wsssssss sea swsd Arenas. The guide was excellent and knowledgeable and the equipment was very good. The distance is long enough to provide a good kayaking experience and work out but not long enough to wear you out. Our time at Punta Arenas was very pleasant and relaxing with delicious fresh fruit. Highly recommended.

    Wonderful kayak across the sea. From hopping out of the taxi and immediately noticing the orange tent where we were to meet. Very thorough run through of the gear and kayaks and once we hit the water it was smooth sailing! Big thanks to the team for a great few hours

    I have been given instructions by German, while Antonio helped me prep for the expedition. German and I went on kayaking on the island in front if Bocagrande and the exercise was vey easy, under a clear sky on a calm sea. I had a moment of relaxation at the beach where I was offered a plate of fruits and a fresh juice while swimming before kayaking back to Bocagrande. I loved the trip from start to finish and would highly recommend thus tour with German, Andres and Antonio who have been very helpful and kind with a no professional kayaker!

    I had a great time paddling with André across to a nice beach, he gave all instructions needed. We mainly talked English, but he also repeated everything to me in Spanish as I try to improve it.
    I got a juice and fruit platter at the beach and had time for a swim in the warm water.
    The kajaks are in a very good condition.
    you can also rent a SUP or canoe at the orange tent, the beach office :-) if you like.
    Would definitely go again.

    Andres was a great instructor. I felt relaxed & confident kayaking for the first time across the bay. Punta Arena was a lovely beach and the platter of fruit upon arrival was absolutely delicious. Overall, a great experience.

    I didn't have much time so I booked a kayak trip to the Island Tierra Bombas with Andres.They supplied everything for paddling. It was an easy paddle over. We arrived at a nice beach where I was able to swim for awhile in the warm ocean. Also I enjoyed a nice refreshing snack. The next time I come here I would like to go around the island with the same company.
